Physics-inspired Ising Computing with Ring Oscillator Activated p-bits

2022 · 2022 IEEE 22nd International Conference on Nanotechnology (NANO)

The nearing end of Moore's Law has been driving the development of domain-specific hardware tailored to solve a special set of problems. Along these lines, probabilistic computing with inherently stochastic building blocks (p-bits) have shown …

An all-magnonic neuron with tunable fading memory

2025 · ArXiv.org

Magnonics offers nanometer-scale wave propagation and strong nonlinearities, making it attractive for neuromorphic applications such as artificial neurons. Yet, magnonic elements with interconnections solely within the magnonic system remain challenging, preventing the realization of interconnected …

Predicting sampling advantage of stochastic Ising machines for quantum simulations

2026 · Physical Review Applied

Stochastic Ising machines, sIMs, are highly promising accelerators for optimization and sampling of computational problems that can be formulated as an Ising model. Here we investigate the computational advantage of sIM for simulations of quantum …
